Your  beautiful black skin is the largest sensory organ of your body.  This is where you feel and make physical contact.  This means that your skin is tied to your human emotions.  Have you heard the terms, you’re white with fear, pale with grief and green with envy?  The next time you’re scared out of your mind, look at the color of your skin once you settle down (if you can remember in the moment of fear).

We wear life’s experiences on our skin in the form of lines and wrinkles, sagging skin or too much sun.  Your hands are rough when touched because they weren’t protected when you worked in the yard or scrubbed the floors.  Your skin is parched because there was no protection from the sun.

Did you know that depression, anxiety and  fatigue  can contribute to psoriasis in your skin?  Did you know that stress can delay the recovery process in your skin. I’ve actually seen a persons skin change colors because of the stress level in their lives.

A toxic relationship as well as a caring and loving relationship can also affect the condition of your skin.

Is Your Black Skin Care Regimen a Form of Relaxation?

Your skin care regimen is actually a ritual that demands relaxation.  It represents a time when you are feeling sensual and instinctively touch your face or body.

The moment of touch brings you present with the product you use, its scent, the feel of comfort and a positive emotional connection with your skin that makes you feel wonderful.

Scent, especially the right scent, can evoke a sense of relaxation.

There’s Beauty In Your Blackness … Does It “Feel” Good?

When you apply a moisturizer to your face or a body butter to your skin, do you feel as though you’re about to embark on a sensual journey of erotic proportions?

The way your skin feels and smells has an affect on both your physiological and psychological well-being.

Studies have shown that without human touch, we die or become very hardened in our view of life.  I found that some of you don’t even take time to enjoy your bath or shower time.  Always rushing and never giving time to “self”.

Schedule a relaxing bath at least once a week.  Immerse yourself in a tub of warm to hot water.  Adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil will enhance the softness of your skin.  Light a candle and enjoy the quiet time.

Not only will your skin benefit from this time of peacefulness but so will your mind and spirit.

When you step out of your tub, give yourself a moment in the mirror and admire the beauty of your skin.  This allows your body to air dry, naturally.  Have a body butter or oil waiting so that you can massage it into your moist skin will add softness to its touch.

Moist skin will allow your moisturizers and butters to easily penetrate in the your skin’s pores and the results for your will be soft, radiant,  feel good to the touch skin.

Remember …

You cannot have beautiful black skin, that feels good to the touch, if you don’t put time and energy into making it happen.  Your skin is not going to feel good if you don’t treat it good.
